# Task Notification Emails & Due Dates

## Task Notifications & Due Dates&#x20;

Borrower tasks are closely tied to email notifications and due dates. Borrowers receive email notifications when:

* New tasks are created and assigned to them
* A task is due (on the due date)
* A task is past due (up to three reminder emails)

By default, a task due date is set to **3 days** after it is created. Lenders can adjust the due date during task creation or when editing an existing task.

These reminders are first sent 24 hours before the task is due, and are then sent at 48 hour intervals. By default, we will send a total of three reminders, though this can be adjusted to send more/fewer reminders at the organization level. If you would like to after the total number of reminders, please email <help@himaxwell.com>

Tasks are sorted by due date and include visual tags to highlight urgency:

* **Red tag** = past due
* **Yellow tag** = due today
* **Grey tag** = upcoming due date
* **No tag** = no due date assigned (edit the task to add one)
* **Green checkbox** = task completed
